Silkie sexing... guesses?

Is it rounded, or squared?

Looks like a triangle-square-ish shape, lol.

Pictures help.
These guys make good examples of squared crests.

These are all boys of mine.

So, he has the squared crest also? Crests on silkies are pretty consistent on males, & females no matter the size of the crest. Another male feature is streamers, even though females can have one, or two sometimes.

He does, but my hens don't the hens are thinner and my other hen is a show silkie so hers is just... big?

I used to have a pullet with streamers, but we traded her for a turkey last year.

The guy had her sitting on eggs later on.

I have a funny little feeling they may all be cockerels lol. If so... can I keep them all together or will they fight?

Silkies are pretty well known for being docile when multiple cockerels are in the same pen even with pullets/hens around, especially if they have been raised together... there is a very good chance you won't have any problems

Thank you. She had the best feathering of all the pullets we had. We still miss her.

I wouldn't say cockerels just yet. I don't see any obvious signs on any of them.
